20AC030A0AYNANC0

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 20AC030A0AYNANC0 is a PowerFlex 70 drive used on the industrial floor to drive motors. After interfacing the drive with the motor and before interfacing the motor with the application, the direction in which the motor rotates should be confirmed to ensure that the motor is in forward motion. The 20AC030A0AYNANC0 has an amperage rating of 30 Amps. The drive can operate with a nominal voltage ranging between 380 Volts AC and 400 Volts AC. The apparent power rating for the 20AC030A0AYNANC0 is capped at 15 kilowatts. The drive can be used to drive motors with a Horsepower rating of 20 Horsepower.

The Allen-Bradley 20AC030A0AYNANC0, as with other PowerFlex 70 drives, supports only copper wires for the input and output wiring. The wiring should, among other things, accommodate a maximum temperature of 75 degrees Celsius. The wires should also have a minimum voltage insulation of 600 Volts. To minimize signal interference, the control and signal wires must be laid out with a spacing of 1 foot between them and the power wires. Note that input and output terminals with a “common” or “-” tag are meant to overcome a common mode interference and it should therefore not be grounded. If they are referenced to the ground, they can be a source of noise in the signal. Additionally, to minimize the sensitivity of the 20AC030A0AYNANC0 input sources, speed command parameters have to be used. Extra sensitive input sources are capable of causing unpredictable changes in the direction or speed of the motor. The 20AC030A0AYNANC0 has a maximum operating temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 0 degrees Celsius.
